You're gonna get hurt 
You're using it up just scratching in the dirt 
You're gonna get shucked 
You starry-eyed little shrimp 

For peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams 
Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams 

You're peddlin' dreams, givin' 'em out like candy 
For rotting your teeth, leavin' you stranded 
Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks 
She's an oasis of places that you'll never see 

A pitch for the angel, before we die 
A kiss to the strangers who barely get by 

There's never a moon when you need the hope 
To punch through the night and point the way home 
Don't you believe another talking chimp 

Is peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams 
Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams 

Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks 
She's peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams
